My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors said that with treatment he would be able to walk， but would never run very well. The first three years of his life was 　26 　in hospital. By the time he was eight， you wouldn‘t know he has a problem when you saw him 　27 　.

Children in our neighborhood always ran around 　　28 　their play， and Joey would jump and ran and play， 29 　. We never told him that he probably wouldn’t 　be 　

30 　to run like the other children. So he didn’t know.

　　 In 　　31 　grade he decided to join the school running team. Every day he trained. He ran more than any of the others， 　32 　only the top seven runners would be chosen to run for the 　33 　. We didn‘t tell him he probably would never make the team， so he didn’t know.

　　 He ran four to five mile every day-even when he had a fever. I was 　34 　， so I went to 　35　 　him after school. I found him 　36　 　already. I asked him how he felt. “Okay，” he said. He has two more miles to go. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept 　

37 　.

　　 Two weeks later， the names of the team 　38　 　were out. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had 　39　 　the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth graders. We never told him he couldn‘t do it … so he didn’t know. He just 　40　 　it.
